USA has picked up two of its pilots to series, so look for your parents to start gushing over A Legal Mind and Necessary Roughness in a few years.
A Legal Mind follows a high powered Manhattan attorney who hires a brilliant but lazy college student as his new associate. USA promises this will be edgier than other USA shows because the characters won’t “be immediately redeemable.” Oh boy, EDGY AND NOT REDEEMABLE AT FIRST.
Necessary Roughness has been described as “The Blind Side meets Jerry Maguire.” I want to shoot that description. The other, less migraine-inducing, description tells of a therapist who takes a job as a counselor for a professional football team to make ends meet. But I know you’re wondering, is she a sleek and sexy therapist? You better believe it. USA doesn’t believe in ugly people.
